The common technology for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is based on a cermet (ceramic-metal composite) anode of nickel with yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), often used as the supporting structure. One of the main limitations of this technology is the tole ...
A thermogravimeter (TGA, Mettler-Toledo TGA/SDTA851(e)) was connected to an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES, Varian Liberty 110) using a condensation interface (CI), which transforms gaseous high-boiling-temperature substa ...
Converting wood to grid quality methane allows to distribute a CO2 free, renewable enery resource in a conventional energy distribution system and use it in transportation applications. Using a previously developed thermo–economic process model for thermoc ...
Friction welding is a new technology in the course of which wood pieces are subjected to circular or linear movements in a welding machine. The wood in the contact zone is heated and melted. Aiming at a better understanding of the thermal alteration of woo ...
